Finally a good reply. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your brass 1942 or how did you otherwise acquire it?

The bronze used in Lincoln cents is almost entirely composed of copper (95%). It is denser than brass, which has a lower copper content. So a brass cent should weigh less than a standard 3.11 gram bronze piece, not more.
Not trying to rain on your parade because it could be an off-metal planchet strike. The higher weight actually diminishes that likelihood however.
